Fear Page #5

- Sure you won't change your mind

and come home with me?

I can't.

My dad will kill me.

Okay. I love you.

- Bye.

- Bye.

I woke up wanting you

But you are rarely there

I howl a song

and I prowl at dawn

I growl but you don't care

Growl

I see you walking

around like that

With that animal

on your back

I woke up wanting you

- But you are rarely there

- Get outta here,

you skinny-ass motherf***er!

I howl a song

and I prowl at dawn

I growl but you don't care

Growl

- Come on.

- [Logan] Hey, f*** you. She's mine.

[Chuckling]

- You want me?

- [Chuckles]

Say it

so he can hear you.

Go ahead.

Tell him.

Tell him you want me.

Tell him! Now!

I want him!

[Margo Panting]

[Logan] Yeah, f*** it. Keep that

dirty little b*tch. I don't want her.

[Sobbing]

What?

- Nic.

- Please, Dad. I don't

wanna talk about it.

I just wanna be alone.

Okay.

The pain'll go away, honey.

I promise.

- [Door Closes]

- Is she okay?

[Exhales]

I hope so.

[People Chattering]

I got you some anyway. I thought food

might zap you out of your zombie trip.

- Thanks. I'm just not hungry.

- Let me guess.

You're preparing a junk food

defense before you and your

boyfriend go on a killing spree.

No. Definitely not.

Joke. Joke, Nicole.

As in "ha-ha."

Remember?

Jesus, cane me in Singapore.

- Was Margo in bio?

- Uh-uh. She called and

said she was sick.

- At least she's honest.

- What?

- Nothing.

- Speak of the devil.

- Guess who?

- Don't touch me!

- [Panting]

- Nicole, where are you going?

- Get away from me! Help!

- Get over here. Stop it!

- Somebody help me!

- What's the matter with you? Come here.

- Hey!

- Just stay away from me!

- No. Why?

- You heard her David. Just let her go!

- [Nicole Panting]

- All right? Okay?

All right.

Okay.

[Panting]

- Hey. They're in there.

- Hi. Thanks.

Why won't you

take my calls?

As you can see, I'm playing

with my little brother.

Okay. You don't have to

be so snotty about it.

Hey there, handsome. When you

gonna grow up so I can ravage you?

Margo, why don't you

leave Toby alone?

Jesus.

What's your problem?

[Footsteps Approaching]

What?

The fact that you can stand

there and act cool and fine

as if nothing ever happened.

That's what scares me

the most about you, Margo.

It's like I don't know you, or... Maybe

I don't know anybody for that matter.

- Everybody says one thing

and then does another.

- Nicole.

L... I'm sorry. I just... I have no idea

what you're talking about.

You know exactly

what I'm talking about.

Who told you?

Did David tell you?

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

You're not a friend of mine.

Nicole, I was high, okay?

He forced me. He made me do it!

Nicole, please don't do this.

Please don't do this. I need you.

You're my only friend!

[Sighs]

[Crying]

[Door Closes,

Car Engine Starts]

[Horn Honking]

[Tires Screeching]

Hey, pull over!

I gotta talk to you!

[Horn Honking]

[Metal Scraping]

[Both Engines Revving]

[Horn Honking]

- [Continues Crying]

- [Parking Brake Creaks]

- What the f***

do ya think you're doin'?

- David, please leave me alone.

- Huh? What did you say to Nicole?

- Nothing.

- [Yells]

- You f***in', lyin' f***in' whore.

Get the f*** outta the car!

You lyin' f***in' whore!

[Sobbing]

What did you say to her?

What the f*** did you say to her?

Nothing. I swear, David. I didn't tell

her. I don't know how she knows.

But she knows.

Let me tell you somethin'. You better

fix it. You better make it right.

Because if you don't,

I'm gonna hurt you.

- Don't cry.

- [Continues Sobbing]

You f***in' liked it.

[Car Door Closes,

Engine Starts]

[Car Pulls Away]

Mr. Walker, sir, I believe

I owe you, Nicole and your

entire family an apology.

Well, I was wonderin' if...

I was just wonderin' if you'd

be so kind as to let me come in

and explain a few things?

I think you might

understand.

I'm not interested

in understanding you, David.

I'm only interested in

keeping you away from Nicole.

And I'll do whatever it takes

to accomplish that. Okay?

Whatever it takes.

[Bolts Door Clicking,

Electric Lock Beeping]

[Inhales]

Thanks, Dad.

- [Phone Ringing]

- Hello?

Oh, hey, Eddie.

Just hold on one second.

Yeah, Eddie?

[Chuckles]

I'm gonna work all night.

Please, don't panic.

I talked to the school.

Security knows about everything, so...

Don't worry, Dad.

It's over, okay?

- Love you.

- Love you.

[Gary]

Nicole! Wait up.

- Hi.

- Everything copacetic?

Yeah. You know, I never thanked you

for the other day.

No sweat.

[Eddie]

Yes! You did it! This is great.

[Sighs]

This is a work of art.

You think you can stay conscious long

enough to crunch out the new numbers?

I've been livin' on pure adrenalin

for 24 hours. Why stop now?

- [Bell Ringing]

- Sure you don't want

to come to the mall?

Nah. I gotta finish

that story for the paper.

The Washington Post is gonna need to see

something before they make me editor.

- Hey, Laura.

- Hey, Gary.

- Get in the back.

- Hey, Toby bear.

- Hi, Gary.

Okay, I'll see you later.

- Hey, Gary.

- David.

- Did you know I grew up

in a lot of different places?

- Uh, no. Actually, Nicole told...

Oh, yeah. Bridgewater,

Spaford, Rikers, you name it.

- You know what they have in common?

- No.

Weak walls. Actually, that's why

they moved me around so much.

I'd pound on the wall,

it'd break.

They'd move me to the next one

and the next one...

until finally they got sick of

buildin' walls and showed me the door.

Pretty useful upbringing it turned out,

though, Gar. There's always walls.

Usually the moist, fleshy kind

that try to get in the way of me

and it, whatever it may be.

Silly, silly people, though.

They're only to be knocked down.

Gary.

[Grunts, Groans]

[Neck Snaps]

- We ready?

- We're ready?

I appreciate your efforts.

I know how hard the push has been

on yourselves and your families.

Today is just another dog

and pony show. I'll kick it off,

and then you're up, Steve.

Let's sell these guys.

How many tickets we got

for the Hawks Sunday?

- We got the four.

Peterman kept the rest.

- That figures.

Holy sh*t!

Jesus, Steve.

What does it say?

Eddie, I need for you to give

me the keys to your car and for

you to catch a ride with Harvey.

- Steve, we gotta...

- Please!

- Okay.

- [Keys Jangling]

[Steve] Hello, Laura? Nicole?

Come on. Somebody pick up.

- Sh*t!

- [Beeping]

Hello, Margo. This is Mr. Walker.

Is Nicole with you?

Do you know where

David McCall lives?

[Sighs]

[Horns Honking]

How are you?

I need to talk to you.

- Help! [Screams]

- Shh!

Shh. You gotta listen to me, Nicole.

To me. The real me.

- [Panting]

- You gotta use the one thing

you have that can hear the real me.

It's not here.

It's not what I say.

It's not here.

It's not the way

you see me acting.

- [Breathing Hard]

- It's here.

- [Muffled Gasp]

- That's what it is, Nicole. You know it.

I know it. Your daddy knows it.

Everybody knows it.
